I delfaults to the main email, thus any other replies go to the main email
not the one that it was supposted to go to.

What version of Outlook are you using since the issue you're having should
have been dealt with in OL2002 as far as I remember.

This indicates that you four addresses aren't really four separate addresses,
merely all aliases of one address and all messages are delivered to one
mailbox.

Outlook always replies using the account that received the original message.
Thus, itr must be that your default address is the one real address and that
the others are the aliases and not separate account. You can certainly create
an account (using, with the exception of the sending address, the exact same
account settings as the default) for each sending address and then select that
address using the Accounts button when sending the messages so that the
recipient sees the address you want them to see. When you do this, in the
Send/Receive group, set the non-default accounts so they don't receive any
messages or you may get multiple copies.
